gazehund Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am so very sorry for your loss. As far as adopting another dog. if you feel like you want to go look at dogs today, go! There is no right or wrong to it. Only what feels right for you. We lost Kia in March. There was no plan to add another dog to our pack for a while, if ever. Then I got a PM from a very good friend. She knew we weren't looking for another dog, but she strongly felt this dog would be a perfect fit for our home. I took one look at her and knew she was coming home. She was still an active racer at the time. I had fun watching her finish out her racing career while I waited for her to retire. I made arrangements to drive to Alabama to get her on my Fall vacation. The trip was wonderful. Getting to spend a bit of time with some very good friends was priceless. And Miss Tru? Well, she has fit in perfectly with our pack and has helped us with a whole lot of healing. Healing we didn't even know we had to do. She is a gift and we adore her. Thanks Miss Heather! Trust your heart. Please let us know when you are ready to bring another hound into your home and heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawthorn Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am so sorry! I know it is hard to let them go, but you are doing the right thing for Blackberry. You should adopt again when you are ready. If it is right away, then that is the right time for you. As others have said, I found that adopting Molly has helped both Fletcher and me heal from the loss of Sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zoolaine Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm very sorry. I think it is a great tribute to Blackberry that you want to adopt right away. It shows how much that sweet girl touched/blessed your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenwinniesmom Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh, I'm so sorry you have to say good-bye to your precious girl. You will miss her terribly, but I think you know in your heart that the best way to honor her is to open your heart to another dog who needs you, when you are ready. It might help her brother too.

SAVED2 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Dogs do grieve , they get depressed and some will stop eating , we have waited as long as 6 months , hard on us and the pack , I'd adopt way sooner now that I know the difference.
